I ended up on infosec.exchange; it's been fine (thanks, infosec.exchange people!). I'll be on my own address sometime in the next month or so.

This is a dumb question because I've yet to mastodon-on but how does this work? Like, how do the followers of the old id start following the new id?

It's not a dumb question! I know that there is some notion of portability from one instance to another but I haven't the slightest clue how it works under the hood. I'm just sort of counting on this working. :)

Yes, exactly. I don't know how it works under the hood but you pretty much press a button on both instances and the followers get moved.
